Ingredients:
- 3 Eggs
- 150g (3/4 cup) Sugar
- 100ml (1/3 cup and 1 tablespoon) Vegetable Oil
- 150g (2/3 cup) Plain Yogurt
Instructions:
- Preparation: Begin by preheating your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a round cake pan with a touch of vegetable oil or non-stick cooking spray, ensuring even coverage.
- Egg Mixture: Crack the eggs into a large mixing bowl. Using a whisk or electric mixer, beat the eggs until they are frothy and slightly thickened.
- Sugar Addition: Gradually add the sugar to the beaten eggs, whisking continuously until the mixture becomes pale and fluffy. This process incorporates air into the batter, resulting in a lighter texture for your cake.
- Oil Integration: Slowly pour the vegetable oil into the egg and sugar mixture while whisking gently. Ensure that the oil is thoroughly incorporated to guarantee a moist and tender cake.
- Yogurt Incorporation: Add the plain yogurt to the batter, gently folding it in until evenly distributed. The yogurt adds moisture and richness to the cake, enhancing its flavor and texture.
- Batter Preparation: Once all the ingredients are combined, pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, using a spatula to spread it out evenly. This ensures that the cake bakes uniformly, resulting in a golden brown crust and a soft interior.
- Baking Time: Place the cake pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 25-30 minutes, or until the cake is risen, golden, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Keep an eye on the cake towards the end of the baking time to prevent overcooking.
- Cooling and Serving: Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for a few minutes. Transfer the cake to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing. Serve the cake as is or with your favorite toppings for a delightful treat.
